Lyrics

I took one step away And I thought, hey, what's the harm? Still feel the heat from here Still see the light, still feel the warm What's another step or two That wouldn't be so wrong, would it? Then when I looked for truth My eye for truth was gone And out of desperation, a mercy plea A spell of wisdom just came over me I took the long way home Back to what I believe I took the long way home You were waiting there for me You were always faithful even When my faith was not so strong It's been a long way home You know, I never intended to Get off the track so far The lights that turned my head Are looking quite bizarre It takes so little time For me to be deceived, yeah But just a simple faith Can bring me to my knees But there are some stones better left unturned And some bridges never crossed are better burned I took the long way home Back to what I believe I took the long way home You were waiting there for me You were always faithful even When my faith was not so strong Oh, it's been a long way home Yeah, it's been a long way Oh... I took the long way home Back to what I believe I took the long way home You were waiting there for me You were always faithful even When my faith was not so strong It's been a long way home
